On May 18th, Fuwan had a rare clear sky.

The city near the sea is foggy, and there are generally thick clouds floating in the sky, but I don't know if it was because of the joy of the Fortune Championships on this day, the sky was clear, and there was not a single cloud.

Du Xinghe, who had slept all night, drove Lin Jianguo's galloping horse 250 to the west gate of Fuda at half past seven in the morning.

The Zhang brothers and sisters were already eagerly waiting at the gate of the West Gate.

On this day, in order to create a good fortune for Du Xinghe, the brother and sister both wore bright red and festive sportswear.

Zhang Yifan rarely wears red clothes because of her dark complexion, but in order to cheer for Du Xinghe, she specially bought a red one-piece tennis skirt.

As usual, Zhang Yifan still wears a tennis cap with mesh, and she specially chose red for the hat, and together with the red sneakers, she created a momentum from head to toe.

Zhang Yiyang's complexion is darker than Zhang Yifan's, and he rarely wears bright red sportswear, but he was forced by Zhang Yifan, he also got a headband from head to toe early this morning, he didn't like to wear a hat, so he tied a headband printed with "Du Xinghe Won" on his head. His 1.9-meter-tall pestle looked very abrupt at the gate of the West Gate of Fuda University, and the students who entered and exited the school gate all looked at Zhang Yiyang, but Zhang Yiyang didn't feel embarrassed, because he went out today, and he must support Du Xinghe to the end! Help Du Xinghe succeed in killing Peng!

Du Xinghe himself didn't make any grand outfits, he just wore the normal sky-blue Baijiazhuang tennis uniform given to him by Xu Nuo. I didn't even bring a racket. Because his racket was after his last practice four days ago. handed it over to Zhang Yifan, Zhang Yifan wanted to choose the same spare racket for him according to the texture and tightness of his racket.

This morning, Zhang Yiyang was carrying a professional tennis bag that was larger than usual when he went out to play, which contained three special rackets for Du Xinghe with a thread and wrapped film, as well as a pair of necessities for the game such as sweat towels and supplementary drinks that the brothers and sisters had ordered for Du Xinghe.

After Du Xinghe picked up the two, he drove the two straight to the Blue Moon Bay Stadium.

His match with Ponmasi was scheduled for the first round in the morning, with two more matches to come, but because Ponmasi was a high-seeded player, their match was scheduled on the largest Centre Court in Blue Moon Bay.

However, it is said that the tournament did not arrange a live broadcast of the match.

The competition party knew that Du Xinghe's wild card for the direct competition was obtained by Zhang Yiyang's connection, so they expected Du Xinghe to be an amateur player like Du Xinghe. On Pongmasi. It will definitely take on a one-sided shape, which will greatly reduce the spectacle of the Fu Championships. That's why they deliberately scheduled this game for the first game of the morning game, and didn't make any publicity about this game.

Generally, there will not be too many spectators in the early game, and the tournament party just doesn't want more people to see this game without any technical content. So it took the form of a complete formality. Hopefully this game will be played. After that, the second game on Centre Court was a Chinese derby, which was relatively watchable. Only then will they broadcast the game on Centre Court.

The highlight of the first matchday promoted by the tournament was the subsequent Centre Court China Derby. Even the printed tickets don't mention the game.

If it were someone else, as the No. 2 seed, suffering such inexplicable treatment, he would definitely be angry and even boycott, but the core purpose of Pompasi's professional tennis in the past two years is one word: to make money.

As long as there is money to be made, Pong Masi doesn't care about these things anymore, and he came to play here today with the mentality of going through the motions.

Hearing that the opponent was a wild card holder who had not played a professional game but had registered as a professional player because of his relationship, Ponmasi and coach Campos did not take this game seriously at all. They set out to prepare for the two hundred or so players who might face in the next round.

On the way to Blue Moon Bay, Zhang Yiyang was extremely excited to give Du Xinghe a vaccination: "Mr. Du, I have been checking for the past few days, there is no Bo in the world for your match with Peng Maxi today. The color company opened, and I asked the insiders again just morning, but it still didn't open. You have to be careful, this Ponmasi will definitely not release water. ”

Zhang Yiyang's words are very understandable. In recent years, there have always been some unexpected situations when playing in the field, and he has always retired when he is about to lose, so this has caused a lot of speculation that this guy has a gamble. Ball.

Zhang Yiyang has already said that in professional tennis, if the player retires, the pre-match bet of this match will be invalidated. Winnings will be returned to Bo. Player's account.

If a professional player bets on themselves to win before a match, they do win the game and kill two birds with one stone, not only advancing to the next round, but also winning the winnings. And if they choose to retire when they are about to lose, then they will not lose their previous bet, but Bo. Previous bets will be refunded to their account as void matches. For them, it's nothing to lose by losing like this, they're going to lose anyway. And the professional tennis associations can't punish players for withdrawing due to injury. So some players are going to move this kind of mind. In some special games, they win by themselves to carry out this game of winning and not losing by themselves.

However, these are very few examples, even if there are players who do it, it will be very inconspicuous, and they may not be able to retire two or three games a year, so as not to be seen by others.

And it's rare for someone like Ponmasi to drop out in double digits every year. I don't know if he really gambled on the game or really retired because of injury, in short, his style is very shameful.

In addition to this, the reason why Ponmasi is suspected of gambling. ball, but also because he sometimes loses some very inexplicable games. On more than one occasion, he played against an opponent who was far inferior to him, after the start. He quickly built up a lead, gave his opponent no temper at all, and won the first set with ease, but in the middle of the second set, he still maintained a big advantage and was about to win the match. But at this time, I don't know what happened to him, he will suddenly play very badly, many opportunities will be missed, and then he will become self-defeating. Reversed by the opponent. Lose this game that he could hardly afford to lose. At that time, the commentators would say that there was a problem with Peng Maxi's mentality, and he used him as an excuse for the mental construction of a genius boy to find an excuse for him to lose.

But some industry insiders suspect that the kind of ball that Pengmaxi plays is not a psychological problem at all, because even if there is a psychological problem. In a game with a huge disparity in strength, the stronger side will win almost with a handle in hand. So they all suspect that Pomp Masi is also betting when playing this kind of game. Ball. But take another way of gambling. Ball. That's betting on yourself to lose.

Generally, before the start of a game, if the disparity in strength between the two warring parties is too great. The lottery company will open a relatively different odds according to the actual situation.

For example, Ponmasi has to play against a player ranked 400 or higher in the world. Nabo. The winning odds offered by the lottery company are only 1.0025, which means that Pengmaxi will win by himself and invest 10,000 yuan to get a return of 25 yuan, which is too low, even if he wins, he can't earn much money. But at this time, if he bets on the other party to win, he may get a hundred times the odds! Such high odds are more lucrative than betting on himself to win several matches on a tour. If he doesn't want to waste his time playing that tour, it's possible to make a profit by betting on himself to lose.

In short, there are many problems with this Ponmasi that have been criticized, although the professional institutions have not caught him for his gambling yet. ball evidence, but people in the industry are basically skeptical about this person's ball quality.

However, the situation was different today, because Pong Masi played against Du Xinghe, a player who did not have any record in professional tennis. None of the lottery companies were able to make inferential predictions about this match, in addition to the Ponma West itself betting. The ball is suspicious, so this innocuous game, Beau. The color company directly ignored it, and it didn't open at all!

This also means that even if Ponmasi wants to bet on himself to lose, he can't gamble!

Without any stakes involved, Pompasi will definitely finish the match seriously and will not choose to retire for various reasons as he has done before, let alone choose to lose this match.

Today, Du Xinghe is facing an absolutely professional Peng Maxi without any interference, and Zhang Yiyang must give Du Xinghe this wake-up.

Zhang Yifan didn't have too much thought about this, she didn't look down on a player like Peng Masi, whether he gambled or not. ball, Zhang Yifan firmly believes that as long as Du Xinghe plays his normal level in the special training period, he can defeat this former Mexi.co genius boy.

Zhang Yifan persuaded Du Xinghe at this time: "Mr. Du, don't listen to my brother's nonsense, you don't have to think too much, the most important thing is for you to keep a normal heart now." ”

Du Xinghe likes to listen to Zhang Yifan's words, to be honest, he is now under a certain amount of pressure, and the meeting he watched with Xingyue last night made him realize that the result of this game was much stricter than he imagined. It can be said that this is a game that he can only win and cannot lose. In competitive sports, if you compete with such a mentality, you will inevitably be under unprecedented pressure. It was the first time for Du Xinghe to participate in such a professional competitive sports competition, and he was naturally under a lot of pressure. He doesn't usually talk much, but now, he basically doesn't speak, trying to maintain a calm state of mind.

When he was about to arrive at the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center, Du Xinghe's phone rang.

"Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......"

It was Fang Yajun's call to Du Xinghe.

After Du Xinghe saw the caller ID, he picked up Fang Yajun's phone: "Hey? ”

"Where are you, Mr. Du?" Fang Yajun asked on the other end of the phone, they had a phone call last night, and they made an appointment to meet at the parking lot of the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center at eight o'clock this morning. Fang Yajun was very curious about Du Xinghe's tennis strength, so she turned down this morning's work and wanted to watch Du Xinghe's game.

"I'm almost at Blue Moon Bay, have you already arrived?"

"Well, I just arrived. In the parking lot, you can come to my car and find me later. The red Loulan sports car I drove. ”

Fang Yajun had lent Du Xinghe this car before, and Du Xinghe knew him. She didn't let the driver at home send her over early this morning, and she didn't even tell Cheng Jiaren about it, lest Cheng Jiaren stop her. She came to the court alone.

Not long after Du Xinghe and Fang Yajun ended the call, they also arrived at the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center, and on the way to the parking lot, he saw Fang Yajun's red coupe, so he parked the car next to Fang Yajun's car.

Fang Yajun was very familiar with Lin Jianguo's Galloping Horse 250, and through the front windshield, she saw that Du Xinghe was driving, so when Du Xinghe parked. She got out of her car. Come and say hello to Du Xinghe.

On this day, Fang Yajun wore a set of white and blue sportswear that matched Du Xinghe, her standard sunglasses were naturally on the bridge of her beautiful nose, and she was wearing a white baseball cap on her head, and her long hair was curled into a ponytail. Pulled out of the buckle behind the baseball cap. It looks very innocent. Just look at Fang Yajun's temperament today. It's really not a few years older than Zhang Yifan.

"Why did you come here empty-handed?" Seeing that Du Xinghe got out of the car, he didn't take anything in his hand, nor did he take a racket or anything. Fang Yajun was a little surprised: "You're here to compete today, right?" ”

Du Xinghe has a participation certificate, but he didn't want to hang it around his neck like other players, but stuffed it in his pocket, so from the outside, he looked like an audience, and he couldn't tell that he was here to compete.

Du Xinghe smiled and pointed to Zhang Yiyang, who took the initiative to serve as a coolie next to him, and said, "My friend helped me carry the equipment on my back, let me introduce you, Yifan, you already know him, this is his brother, Zhang Yiyang." ”

"Hello Miss Yajun." Pulling the strap of the backpack with both hands, Zhang Yiyang nodded politely to Fang Yajun. Like Zhang Yifan, this big man did not have the demeanor of an ordinary student who was shocked by Fang Yajun's beauty and fame after seeing Fang Yajun, and he looked very indifferent.

Fang Yajun likes others to get along with her plainly, so that her own pressure is actually very small, and she doesn't always have to carry that kind of elegant idol baggage. It's best for others to treat her as an ordinary person, and she wants others to see her like this.

In a relaxed state of mind, Fang Yajun didn't have any shelf with the Zhang brothers and sisters, Fang Yajun joked with Du Xinghe with a smile: "I watch other players play games, and they all carry their own equipment, how can you let people carry it?" You're too big, aren't you? ”

Zhang Yiyang helped Du Xinghe speak: "No, no, Miss Yajun, you misunderstood, it wasn't Xiao Du who asked me to carry it, I was willing to help him carry it." To be able to equip a great fighter like him in front of his first professional bout, I think it's an honour for me. ”

Zhang Yifan nodded approvingly beside him, they are the people who know Du Xinghe's strength best, and they really think that Du Xinghe may create the history of Chinese tennis, and may even establish a myth in the world tennis world! It is a real honor to be able to play with such talented players as they are semi-professionals who are obsessed with tennis.

Du Xinghe smiled helplessly when he was lifted by Zhang Yiyang, waved his hand at Fang Yajun, and signaled that this was all what they said, you heard it, oh, I don't want to do this.

Fang Yajun was made more curious about Du Xinghe's strength by Zhang Yiyang, she watched Zhang Yiyang play the qualifying match that afternoon, although Zhang Yiyang lost in the end, but this big man played quite well, at least in the eyes of amateurs like her, Zhang Yiyang is already a top non-professional level. He complimented Du Xinghe so much, could it be that Du Xinghe was much stronger than this guy? Then Du Xinghe's strength is too exaggerated, right? No matter how you look at it, you can't see that Du Xinghe has this super strength? Why do these brothers and sisters respect Du Xinghe so much?

Fang Yajun became more and more eager to see Du Xinghe play.

No longer wasting time in the parking lot, the Zhang brothers and sisters took Du Xinghe to the organizing committee to sign in. When they signed in, Punmasi hadn't come yet, and it was said that there were less than 50 minutes left before the official start of the game, and Punmasi should have shown up, but given that Du Xinghe's strength was too weak and weak, Pongmasi didn't take Du Xinghe seriously at all, and he didn't even get up early this morning for routine warm-up exercises. When Du Xinghe was signing in, the Messi-brother genius was still taking a bath in the hotel.

Due to the lack of publicity, the center court match between Du Xinghe and Peng Maxi received very little attention, and when it was almost half past eight, the center court with a full seat of 8,000 people only entered the stadium with less than 100 spectators. It's nowhere near as crowded as Court 1 and Court 2.

At nine o'clock, two first-round matches will be played at the same time, both of which will be played by highly-ranked Chinese players against foreign players, and most experienced tennis fans will choose Court 1 or Court 2 to watch.

It was only then that Pong Masi came to the organizing committee to sign in.

Du Xinghe went to the toilet and saw Peng Masi in the corridor. This guy is about 1.8 meters tall, with a very thick figure, and his right arm is particularly thick, which is significantly thicker than his left arm.

These technical characteristics, before the war, Zhang Yiyang analyzed them for Du Xinghe, but now that he sees Peng Maxi up close, Du Xinghe can still feel that this guy's sturdy body contains a particularly fierce aura.

This guy also looks very horizontal, with a horizontal face, looking like he is in his thirties, much older than in the photo, quite a kind of Messi. Brother Black. If you don't wear a black tennis T-shirt and tennis shorts, but a set of bull fonts with an open shirt, this guy feels that he can play the role of a prodigal son.

Du Xinghe knows Peng Maxi, but Peng Maxi does not know Du Xinghe, in the number of databases of the International Internet Federation, Du Xinghe except for basic information such as age, gender, and nationality, all other information is blank, and no one knows who he is.

When passing by with Peng Maxi, Du Xinghe could feel that this guy didn't take him seriously at all, because this guy actually hummed while walking in the aisle, as if he was here for a vacation, not a game, and obviously didn't pay attention to this game. That's good, the more relaxed people are, the easier it is to be defeated. Feeling the kind of light-hearted relaxation on Peng Maxi's body, the pressure on Du Xinghe's body was not so great.

He and Zhang Yifan and Zhang Yiyang have analyzed this game before, Du Xinghe must grasp the start of this game, and strive to bombard Peng Maxi into slag before Peng Maxi is familiar with Du Xinghe's super ball road, completely crush Peng Masi's confidence, and win the game with a bang.

Otherwise, if he didn't make a good start, even if he had an invincible killing move like a super topspin ball, Du Xinghe might not be able to control Peng Maxi. After all, the opponent is a battle-hardened general, familiar with all kinds of technical and tactical routines, in terms of experience in dealing with various scenes, Peng Maxi is more than a step higher than Du Xinghe, in case Peng Maxi was not beaten, but also found a way to restrain Du Xinghe's super topspin, but Du Xinghe will be difficult to win this game.

So far, Du Xinghe's handy killer feature on the court is still the only super topspin. With such a single tactic, he could only fight Ponmasi with a knife and blood, striving to punch the master to death, and he was stunned by Ponmasi as soon as he came up. To win the game, he had to get off to a good start.

At 8:45 a.m., the caddie entered the field and began to clean up the dust on the center court, and at 8:50 a.m., the lineman and the referee entered the court.

Du Xinghe stepped into the court before Pongmasi, and when there were five minutes left before the game, Pongmasi entered the field, and then he stepped on the opponent's bench to touch Du Xinghe.

Seeing that his opponent was a thin and immature-looking Oriental teenager, Peng Maxi shook his head helplessly, he really didn't understand how the organizing committee of the Fu Championship arranged it, and how could such a non-standard wild card player enter the main competition. He had also played in the tournament in Fuwan in the past two years, but he had never encountered such a situation, and he even felt that the organizing committee was joking with him this time, looking for such an opponent to make fun of him. After all, his current reputation is not very good in the professional tennis world, and there are many organizing committees that will make things difficult for him, but these don't matter to him, he chooses this road without fame, he has to go on without hesitation, and he doesn't care about any abuse and sarcasm or finding awkwardness.

However, now the organizing committee of the Fortune Championship has the ingenuity to find such an amateur player to compete with him, which really makes Peng Masi a little annoyed.

According to their old Mo customs, if you are not satisfied with me, you can scold me to your face and beat me, but you can't disgust me behind your back! What the Organizing Committee of the Fortune Championship is doing now, in Pengmasi's opinion, is deliberately disgusting him! (To be continued......)
